Quite obvious but imma say it....This is definetly one of HSL's models...The Express plate and the Foamy stuff ( i think called mesh) has the Express design

Jul 30, 2006 Mart

A lot of the original Soaps had mesh dude, especially the later ones

Jul 30, 2006 AnthoFlex

I know, but i said the mesh had the same design as the Express....unless if thats already what you meant

They look like they're aimed towards girl Soapers.

Jul 31, 2006 Relsi

I don't know what girl would like those.

Jul 31, 2006 SonicSoaper

Skater girls probably.

Since when do girls wear grey skate shoes?

Guys, look closer. It's a Rockport style walking shoe upper with a Soap logo slapped on it and done in grey i/o brown or beige. They even copied the the top two lace eyelets adjusting holes! The sole/grindplate combination however, was the prototype for HSL's 2002-early 2003 re-introduction of the Soap Brand. If I remember correctly, this was a designer/sourcing agent's attempt to show Soap what they could produce out of their factory (and yes, they made Rockport walking shoes!) Needless to say, this one died at the concept prototype .... but the sole lived on. Thump, thump .. thump, thump.

Of all the times I've looked at this, I never realized the sole. Thanks for pointing that out, Steve.

All of HSL's soap shoes, except for the A-side, T-bone, and Express have that Sole.....But my Express' are unique....they have that same sole....not the bubble like they're supposed to....lol....heres a pic...

These remind me of the New Balance shoes my grandpa wears. The black ones moreso...they just have that similar leather styling to some New Balance models.

Just a thought...

Anthoflex, you've got the same sole as the chaos shoes... on the express, thats realli unique

Nov 1, 2006 AnthoFlex

I know, makes me happy

Mar 31, 2007 AnthoFlex

These were supposed to be released February 1st, 2005

If thats the case, then these were supposed to be the most recent Soapshoes made....but i thought that by '05, HSL completely neglected Soapshoes already

Mar 31, 2007 Surfaced

Yes, 2005 was by far the worst year in Soap shoes history.

Apr 1, 2007 AnthoFlex

yes it was....oh boy, yes it was

Apr 1, 2007 kobansora

They're a mix of the grails and express. Cuz of the pattern right above the grind plate and the way the shoes looks...kinda like all the others...

Apr 3, 2007 Surfaced

All HSL Soap shoes (excluding the A-side and T-Bone) have the same midsole, although the Express' is slightly modified to house a shock absorber. I don't see any Grail, and quite frankly, nothing from the Express that would distinguish it from other HSL models.

*whistles* they look good on the pedestal but on my feet... ehh...

Aug 26, 2007 greenfire8484

they look... shiny... and... pretty...

Dec 22, 2007 AnthoFlex

I have to disagree with Steve's comment on these shoes. About the timing of their release.

They were supposed to be released February of 2005. It still makes me wonder...i thought by 05' that HSL had given up on soap.....

Mar 5, 2008 Hattmac02

i think they used this midsole or mesh whatever on any shoe with the express including the torch could be wrong
